Runtime operations overview


With WebSphere® Virtual Enterprise, you can manage complex system operations with real time, meaningful visualization tools. Gradually controlled implementation of autonomic capabilities helps you to reduce the cost of managing your resources.

 

Operational alerts

Operational alerts inform you of the current state of your environment, including any issues, so that you can take action if necessary. For example, you might see an operational alert when a service policy is breached. For notification about issues that are continuing to occur over multiple intervals, runtime tasks are generated

 

Reports

You can use customized charting can show if goals are being met. To benefit from this virtualized environment, know how your applications are performing. Dynamic charting provides a visual perspective of this performance. Specifically, statistics such as availability, response time, traffic, and throughput are supported. A wide range of options from which you can create various charts is also provided.

You can organize your charts into chart groups to access from any reports view.

You can move charts to a new window to continue viewing the chart while performing other tasks in the administrative console. You can also move the chart back to the original chart group. You can also view reports in the Reports tab of the following settings panels:

Runtime operations reports use Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) to display the data. Microsoft® Internet Explorer does not have an SVG viewer installed by default. You can install a SVG plug-in or configure runtime operations to display JPEG images. See Creating and managing reports for more information. Avoid trouble: The runtime operations reports are blank until you begin running an active load against your cell.gotcha

 

Dashboard

The dashboard displays a high level summary of your overall environment. You can use the dashboard preferences to configure the information that displays in the dashboard, such as the default reports or the data from a specified chart group.

 

Runtime summaries

You can view the runtime information for the on demand routers, nodes, core groups, applications, deployment targets, service policies, and core components in your environment. Core components include a variety of autonomic controllers and managers. The runtime summaries include a list of instances for the particular resource type, status, stability and other information.

The charts that are included in the applications, deployment targets, and service policies summary views do not automatically refresh. These charts display the average response time at a certain point in time. To update the data in the chart, you can click the refresh icon on the chart.

To access the runtime summaries, click Runtime Operations in the administrative console.
